It's just impossible to download a full node, same problem as Ethereum.
On chain scaling has been proved to be impossible. ^
This shows why we need small blocks and a second layer for scaling.
unlike ethereum byteball has no blocks
Sure, but it still has a chain of transactions which has become so massive that a full node can't be downloaded on a desktop computer.
it depends on your connection speed, I think most full nodes use remote servers
Actually, it mainly depends on your drive. Even with a fiber optic internet connection, if you don't have an SSD, then syncing just gets insanely slow at some point. If you want a full node, you must use an SSD.
so basically byterbak get rid of blocks and get relativity fast, cheap transactions and finality in exchange for decentralization and ddos resistance? Is this worth it?
